Vitamins.
Athletics has always been my cup of tea. I always cherish my moments being an athlete. There are certain vitamins which have been an inevitable part of my career as an athlete. Of all vitamins, I m always amazed by the Vitamin B for its multi functioning capabilities. Vitamin B (Thiamin) is important in energy metabolism. Thiamin is also needed for optimal neuromuscular functioning. Reportedly some athletes are marginally thiamin deficient. The need for thiamin is generally proportional to the caloric intake, especially when the diet is high in carbohydrates. Athletes may require more thiamin than sedentary individuals. Additional research is needed on the thiamin needs of physically active individuals. itamin B (Riboflavin) , participates in many oxidation-reduction reactions in the body, particularly glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidation. Though physical activity may deplete riboflavin status, the riboflavin status of well-nourished athletes is similar to that of well nourished non-athletic controls. There appears to be no advantage of riboflavin supplementation of athletes unless these individuals are deficient in the vitamin.
